Thats a good idea! 💡

Haha that is awesome!

Ice cube trays work great, we did that when we didnt have so many. Check as often as you can on facebook marketplace or other similar sites, and you will find a good deal eventually. Thanks for watching!

Yes such a good idea!

Maybe one day we will

You emailed us about supplements as I was editing that part in this video haha. Glad it is going well, and your new tegu is settling in!

Yay glad she likes rex so much!

Thank you!

I remember that study. I think nuts and seeds are definitely part of their diet in the wild. Always learning and evolving. Sunflower seeds are a good source of vitamins and minerals.

@@RoseCityReptilesTX and healthy omega fats! I think it’s a great idea to try it out. Another thing to note on the seeds as well, is what classifies fruits, is internal seeds so those seeds could also mean higher fruit content as well. Last year my male would dig up dandelions and eat the flowers, bulbs, and roots to them so I think there’s definitely evidence there. I just found me a grinder on market place today so I’m gonna give the mashes another shot! My guys wouldn’t touch it last year. Frustrating lol

Is there a certain ratio of meat to plant content for your mix? I'm trying to do some heavy homework to get ready for a tegu 🙏

Thats great! I'm sure he will be up soon!

Thanks for the update robert! Love hearing about all of our babies!

Thanks man! Keep searching around for a used one and one will pop up eventually, worked for me haha.

That sounds great! Thanks for watching, cheers! 🍻

I go to a meat market as well! Better quality and prices 😄👍.

tegu patty

Thank you so much! His name is plague 🖤

@@RoseCityReptilesTX that is a perfect name!!!!

Thank you, glad you enjoy them! I would not feed coconut oil.

This one was custom made and I purchased it from Facebook market. I have used the LEM brands before this and they worked great. Another more affordable option is to look into hand grinders, they can also work with bones.

@@RoseCityReptilesTX I saw your video a few weeks ago talking about the new grinder, but was wondering if you could show how it was built to give others an idea on how to make one. I appreciate your videos and have learned a lot from you.

Thank you for watching Tony!

Appreciate your support tony!

@@audreyjohnston1454 you’re welcome

@@RoseCityReptilesTX you’re welcome

Great options! I used to raise quail and hope to again soon.

Good question! I do use squash and zucchini regularly in the tegu mix. I also like to use carrots and sweet potatoes.

Thank you! Were watching like crazy!

Yes you can feed veggies. In this mix I had carrots. I used to feed more veggies, now I do more fruit. But I do regularly use squash, carrots, sweet potatoes and zucchini.

So happy she made it to you safely! We were worried sick all weekend and calling fedex non-stop (they were not very helpful). She has her dad's confidence! She is going to be a great tegu. I feed eggs scrambled, hardboiled and raw. Red meat can be fed on occasion but not as a staple.

@@RoseCityReptilesTX I called Fed EX everyday too. I couldn't wait to get home and take her out, I took her out in the truck. She was already escaping! She tore through the bag, paper, and was working on the styrofoam when I opened the tape. She startled me. I heated up the truck, had a bigger container, warm blankets, water. I put her on my chest in the truck until she warmed up. She ate twice already and drank water. I put grub pie and cut up blueberries in case she is hungry tonight. A couple weeks ago, Loralie was hanging out on my shoulder, jumped on the counter and bit the raw filet mignon. So I gave her a piece.

Hey Roxanne! Super glad to hear she is settling in well! I notice the other chacoan is very confident as well!

@@audreyjohnston1454 She is doing great! Tonight I took her out and she smelled the other tegu on me. She was tongue flicking like crazy. She is eating and checking out stuff. She likes to dig everywhere.

Thats correct!

Yes I do

They eat seeds and nuts in the wild. In Florida they eat a ton of palm nuts! I have started adding some seeds and nuts in my food mixes and plan to do more in the future. I will do a video exclusively on this topic once I have more experience with it.

@@RoseCityReptilesTX this is why you’re the best source of tegu info on the internet at the moment. 💯

Great question! I like to add some mazuri croc chow. It's a commercial diet for crocodiles that works great in the tegus diet. It also soaks up ALL the juice!

@@RoseCityReptilesTX that's sounds perfect! I never drained because I know it has nutrients as well. Would get out of hand sometimes though. Thank you so much! I have a black and white 3 and a half year old argentine tegu.

We do include veggies in the mix. In this mix we used carrots but will often use squash, zucchini and sweet potatoes.

Yay. 👍🏼

🥳

I'm a tegu dog person 😅😅

Haha! Thanks for being a good sport. I did all this to send a screenshot to my brother-in-law. Odd that I did not get a reply from him... I'll have to try harder next time. Is there a reason you don't have greens in your mix? I've been using collards, is that no bueno?
